| 9 | >> Introduction |
---|
| 10 | |
---|
| 11 | PHP's database access functions are not standardised. This creates a |
---|
| 12 | need for a database class library to hide the differences between the |
---|
| 13 | different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily |
---|
| 14 | switch databases. |
---|
| 15 | |
---|
| 16 | We currently support MySQL, Interbase, Sybase, PostgreSQL, Oracle, |
---|
| 17 | Microsoft SQL server, Foxpro ODBC, Access ODBC, Informix, DB2, |
---|
| 18 | Sybase SQL Anywhere, generic ODBC and Microsoft's ADO. |
---|
| 19 | |
---|
| 20 | We hope more people will contribute drivers to support other databases. |

---|
| 33 | Adodb-*.inc.php are the database specific driver code. |
---|
| 34 | |
---|
| 35 | Test.php contains a list of test commands to exercise the class library. |
---|
| 36 | |
---|
| 37 | Adodb-session.php is the PHP4 session handling code. |
---|
| 38 | |
---|
| 39 | Testdatabases.inc.php contains the list of databases to apply the tests on. |
---|
| 40 | |
---|
| 41 | Benchmark.php is a simple benchmark to test the throughput of a simple SELECT |
---|
| 42 | statement for databases described in testdatabases.inc.php. The benchmark |
---|
| 43 | tables are created in test.php. |
---|
| 44 | |
